Crikey! ... and yesterday I thought the pop up advertising coming out of Neroinfo.exe was annoying. Neroinfo would check back to base every two days at 5:35PM and once every few weeks or more I would get a pop up advert for Nero products.

I'm hardly able to keep up with all they are writing about these things.

You'd think this a huge (self-inflicted) body blow to Lenovo, but maybe they are too big to fail too, now?

I believe that they make components for umpteen other manufacturers as well, so it seems like a really big deal.

I now subscribe to Stilgherrian's writings / blogs ... although a bit on the "ripe" side at times, I find I can understand better when I hear as well as read, and some of what he is talking about would reduce me to some ripe swearing too (if I understood it all better :))cheerio from this muggy spot on planet earth; trust you are all well / busy / happy ... all 3 if possible.

Though there were already companies which sold devices to irrigation farmers which monitored the soil moisture level, these required one to log on to the internet and get the data back and were clearly quite expensive. A text direct to the grower seems a better reason to get out of bed for.

I only have mobile internet. Why is it so expensive for the miserly data allowance?Does it cost Telstra more than hard wired? Is there a limit to the "waves" that they can emit from the towers? (or whatever the reason is).
